That Bar presents Afton’s inaugural Bike Night Proceeds from Bike Night will benefit the Afton Splash Pad ■

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

The staff at That Bar in Afton is rallying the community for an evening of entertainment to raise money for a good cause.

That Bar Co-owners Kevin Lisk, Christine Meadows, Dwayne Price and Manager Josh Henry are hosting Afton’s first bike night 4 p.m. Aug. 8.

Henry said the management team at That Bar liked the idea of gathering the community on the square and attracting more visitors to the area.

“We are doing this to help build Afton’s community,” said Henry. “We wanted to create another event for the area.”

Henry said the idea of a bike night was inspired by the amount of locals who ride their motorcycles to That Bar.

Organizers hope the annual event will also raise money for worthwhile causes in the Afton community.

“This year the proceeds will benefit the (Afton) Splash Pad,” Henry said.

For the whole family That Bar is planning carnival-style activities and games which will take place 4 to 7 p.m. in Afton’s City Park on the square.

“There will be a bouncing castle, ...ring toss, games with footballs and other kids activities,” Henry said.

To cool down, an ice cream stand in the park will sell frozen treats, pop and water.

Additionally, Up in Smoke in Afton will be catering the event with pulled pork, brisket and barbecued nachos.

Instructors and students from Henry’s Martial Arts in Creston will perform a martial arts demonstration 6 to 7 p.m. The demonstration, which Henry describes as a “mock class,” will showcase a variety of hand and leg techniques, leg kicks, judo and grappling moves, and a few forms,

Family event That Bar, 175 E. Kansas St. (pictured right), is hosting Afton’s first annual bike night 4 p.m. Aug 8 to benefit the Afton Splash Pad project. The familyfriendly event will feature carnival games, live music and bike contest. Admission is free. which, put together look like “dancing.”

A highlight of the martial arts demonstration will be Henry’s attempt to break a stack of 13, 2-and-a-half-inch thick concrete bricks with his bare hands. Should Henry succeed, he will have topped his personal record by two bricks.

Bikes and bands At That Bar’s bike night, motorcyclists have the opportunity to win prizes for their bikes.

Fighting threatens Israel-Gaza cease-fire

Carolyn Cole/Los Angeles Times/MCT

A man walks past one of several mosques destroyed by Israeli forces in the past three and a half weeks on July 31, 2014 in Gaza City.

A

hard-won internationally brokered truce between Israel and Palestinian militants was threatened Friday by a new outbreak of fighting only hours after it took effect. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office stopped short of declaring the 72-hour cease-fire dead, but accused Hamas of “flagrantly violating” the truce.

Battles between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants in the southern Gaza Strip left at least 38 people dead, according to Palestinian officials. Israeli media reports said Israeli forces were fired upon by militants with grenades, and responded by calling in helicopter gunships and artillery fire. In addition, Israeli military says one of its soldiers may have been abducted.

Meanwhile, Palestinians sent fresh barrages of rockets and mortars into Israel, with the military reporting at least one projectile intercepted and seven falling into open areas.

Hostilities between the two sides had continued almost until the last minute before the lull took effect.

Overnight, airstrikes pounded eastern and northern Gaza, close to the fence surrounding the enclave, and militants fired off more barrages of rockets into Israel.

But with word having spread quickly overnight of a cessation of hostilities, Palestinians quickly seized upon the respite, trekking to devastated neighborhoods that had been no-go zones due to heavy bombardment.

Fishermen put out to sea in their small boats, slipping out of Gaza City’s small harbor for the first time in days.

Hamas policemen, out of sight for the past three weeks, took up trafficcop duties, directing the cascade of cars and donkey carts that quickly

Israel announced overnight that five soldiers had been killed a day earlier in a mortar strike just outside Gaza, where thousands of Israeli troops gather in staging areas not far from the fence surrounding the coastal strip. That brought the Israeli military death toll to 61.

The 24-day-old conflict has claimed more than 1,400 Palestinian lives, with 17 reported killed in overnight strikes, according to Palestinian

School registration slated for Monday

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

With the first day of school creeping up, Monday is designated for Creston School District registration.

Registration is from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday at Creston elementary and middle schools.

“People can just come in the main entry and they will be directed from there,” said Creston Superintendent Steve McDermott.

The first day of school for Creston students is Aug. 20.

According to Callie Anderson, principal of Early Childhood Center through second grade, all registration needs will be in one location for easy access and less hassle.

McDermott “You don’t have to run from building to building, which is really why we did it,” Anderson said. “They can come and update their student records and pay their registration fees.”

The transportation director, nurse, food service employees, counselors and administrators will also be at the schools for any questions.

Creston Booster Club will also be at Anderson registration with fall merchandise for sale, and activities department staff will have activity tickets available for purchase.

“We really wanted to make it user friendly for our families,” Anderson said. “We tried to streamline it for everybody, so they only had to make one stop if they had multiple children, or multiple people to speak with.”

If parents are unable to make Monday’s registration, they can go to each school where they have a child enrolled and register them individually.

Senate sends $16.3 billion Veterans Affairs reform bill to President WASHINGTON (MCT) —Nearly four months after Veterans Affairs employees were exposed for allegedly falsifying records to cover up long wait times for patients, the Senate on Thursday night overwhelmingly approved a $16.3 billion compromise bill to overhaul the department.

The chamber’s 91-3 vote comes as Congress heads into a five-week recess. The House passed the joint conference committee legislation Wednesday. Now the measure awaits Obama President Barack Obama’s signature.

The deal includes $10 billion in emergency funds to pay private doctors to treat veterans who can’t get a VA appointment within 14 days or those who live more than 40 miles from a VA facility.

The legislation also establishes an independent committee to review VA operations and act as a liaison with Congress.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated the reform legislation would increase the federal deficit by about $10 billion over the next 10 years.

Some of the five House Republicans who voted against the bill said Congress was throwing money at the problem and not addressing its cause.

In early April, amid reports of mismanagement in the VA system, Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., told the House Veterans Affairs Committee that a secret waiting list may have contributed to the deaths of dozens of veterans.

The wait lists, hidden from official records, concealed thousands of veterans who were forced to wait months to see a VA doctor, even though the health care system has a 30-day goal when scheduling new appointments.

By the end of May, VA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki had resigned, and investigations into the vast agency were in full swing.

The House and Senate overwhelmingly approved separate versions of a VA reform bill in early June, but legislators clashed over the costs. In previous versions, the House would have spent $44 billion while the Senate authorized $35 billion.

The scaled-down com-

“Our bill is not perfect, and the problems at the VA will not be solved overnight.”

— Rep. Dan Benishek

R-Michigan

promise parallels the $17.6 billion that Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said recently that the agency needed over the next three years to begin reform.

The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Robert McDonald, former chief executive of Procter & Gamble, as Shinseki’s replacement.

The reform measure grants McDonald broad authority to fire or demote senior executives who are accused of mismanagement and dishonesty.

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., supported the bill, but said the firing provision undermines civil service protections that have existed for decades.

Senate Republicans who opposed the bill echoed their House counterparts. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., offered a “better choice” to his fellow lawmakers Thursday: “Let’s wait a bit,” he said, and see how effective McDonald is at the top of the agency, letting the new secretary review the VA and offer his input.

Rep. Dan Benishek, RMich., who worked as a VA doctor for 20 years, said the “true test” would come next.

“Our bill is not perfect, and the problems at the VA will not be solved overnight,” he said. “But this is our best chance.”

Sex education should start sooner, study finds (MCT) — To significantly decrease unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, maternal deaths and sexually transmitted diseases globally, we should start talking to boys and girls about their sexual and reproductive health as young as age 10, says a new study out of Georgetown University.

“At a time when sexuality and gender identities are emerging, younger adolescents may experiment with adult sexual behaviors,” write authors Susan M. Igras, Marjorie Macieira, Elaine Murphy and Rebecka Lundgren.

“But because of their cognitive developmental stage, (they) are unlikely to correctly assess risks and consequences.”

The researchers define younger adolescence as ranging from age 10 to 14.

The study focuses on adolescent behaviors and risk around the globe, noting that 90 percent of the world’s 1.2 billion adolescents live in lower- and middle-income countries. Efforts at curbing unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases — particularly HIV — have increased in many parts of the world since 1990, according to the study, but they’re mostly directed at older youth.

Victoria Jennings, director of the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown and a professor of obstetrics

and gynecology, says the findings are important to consider in the United States as well — in all socioeconomic spheres.

“The implications are so clear,” Jennings says. “Adolescents in all cultures and every social status are learning at 10, 11, 12 how to match up to gender roles and expectations for them.”

Children as young as 10 are beginning to process messages about how to be popular with the opposite sex, how to gain social status and what they gain — or lose — by delaying potentially risky behaviors.

Yet parents, educators and other decision-makers are often wary of introducing the topics of sexual and reproductive health to young adolescents, Jennings says, because they fear it will encourage them to engage in sexual behavior.

“If it’s done properly it has the opposite effect,” she says.

“It has to be done in the context of helping them develop healthy self-esteem and the ability to negotiate their way in the world and develop expectations for themselves and their lives that will cause them to make decisions that will

lead to positive outcomes.

“The message can’t be narrowly focused on family planning and contraceptives and HIV,” she says. “It has to be about developing a healthy life and healthy perceptions of themselves and others.”

The study calls on policy makers, educators and parents to shift their sex-ed conversations to younger adolescents.

“If programs … are implemented at a time when adolescents are still malleable and relatively free of sexual and reproductive health problems and gender role biases, very young adolescents can be guided safely through this life stage, supported by their parents, families and communities,” the authors write in the conclusion. “It will be critical to encourage dialogue with younger adolescents, the significant adults in their lives and local communities … in order to influence positive investments on behalf of this future generation.”

Car care at home Dear Readers: Most folks want to keep their cars looking nice, but it can get a little pricey to take to the car to the carwash all the time. Here are some Heloise hints to help TAKE CARE OF YOUR CAR at home and save some big bucks over the long run: • Many people use household products (mild dish soap or even hair shampoo) to wash the cars at some point.

Some of these can be harmful to the paint and finish. The wrong product can dull the finish. Be sure to use products specifically designed for washing cars, and rinse very well!

• Don’t use abrasive cleaners on plastic or painted parts of your car.

• Don’t wash or wax your car in direct sunlight! Try to wait until the evening or early morning, when the sun is not beating directly down.

• Don’t let bird droppings, insects, gasoline or tree sap sit on the finish long! Wash them off as soon as possible to avoid damage to the paint.

• Dry using a chamois, microfiber towel or a soft terry towel.

Each night I check the following day0’s clothing, and if it needs a little freshening, I spritz it down on a hanger and pull it from the edge to release wrinkles. It works great and is dry by morning. — Mary D., Yorba Linda, Calif.

READY WIPES Dear Heloise: We buy the inexpensive plastic containers of moistened wipes and put them in the pocket of our car door. We use them to wipe our hands after pumping gas, picking berries, etc. When used up, we pop the top off

and use the container as a garbage can. They are easy to empty at the service station, and it is much simpler to drop something in them than try to open a little plastic bag. — A Reader, via email SECURE SLIDING DOOR Dear Heloise: I recently moved into a condo that has a sliding glass door. I was looking for a little more security without having to spend a ton of money. I went to a homeimprovement store and had a large, wooden dowel cut to fit the track. Now I just slip it in, and I don’t have to worry about anyone being able to open the door. — Jessica, via email TOILET-BRUSH BOTHER BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker Dear Heloise: The bottom of my toilet-brush holder always had a little bit of water in it. I tried placing paper towels in the bottom, but I was having to replace them every time I used the brush. I finally found something that worked.

I placed a dry sponge in the bottom. It soaks up all the moisture, and I don’t have to replace it that often. — G.F. in Wisconsin (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Horoscope Saturday, Aug. 2, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) In many ways, this is a lucky day for you. Accept all social invitations. Take a mini vacation. Explore the arts, the theater, sports events and fun times. Romance will flourish!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have the energy to make improvements to your home and your family situation right now. Check out realestate opportunities that might be profitable now and in the future.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your optimism and enthusiasm make this the perfect day to sell, market, teach, act and write. Enjoy schmoozing with others, particularly siblings, neighbors and daily contacts.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This could be a profitable day for you! Business and commerce are favored, which means you can look for ways to boost your income now and in the future.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a positive day, and you are full of enthusiastic energy; however, something unexpected might send you on a detour. Pay attention to everything you say and do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Although you’re gung-ho about something (perhaps privately), keep an eye on your cash flow and possessions, because something unusual might happen. Stay in touch with your bank account.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign opposing wild, wacky Uranus. Surprise get-togethers with friends and groups will be memorable. This could impact your earnings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Behind-the-scenes plans might allow you to travel and explore opportunities in publishing, higher education, medicine and the law. Perhaps a female friend holds the key.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A friend or a member of a group might attract funding and resources to you or give you a gift. (It’s a good day to

ask for a loan.) Later in the day, a female in a position of authority might have a few surprises.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Others are supportive of you today. Partners and people in power are impressed with your drive and enthusiasm. However, travel plans are shaky.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You can be productive on the job today — no question.

Nevertheless, make sure you have the financial and practical

support you need.

YOU BORN TODAY You are versatile and accomplished in many avenues of life. Whatever you do, you put a characteristic stamp on it. You are independent and determined. You are well aware of your talents and limitations. Good news! This year might be one of the most powerful years of your life. It’s a good time to liquidate what you own and reap what you’ve sown.

HEALTH

Vitamins and supplements to promote health (Family Features) With so many different choices in the vitamin aisle, many women find it difficult to choose the right ones to fit their personal needs.

As a woman, keeping your body healthy is an important task. Whether you are in your child-bearing years, taking folic acid for a healthy baby, or in your post-menopausal years, taking extra calcium for healthy bones, there are various vitamins for women to consider at every stage of life.

A daily regimen It’s no secret that the use of vitamins has become a common act for most people. In fact, a recent Gallup poll found that 54 percent of women take a vitamin on a daily basis. If your intention is to prevent disease, such as cancer or osteoporosis, or you just want to fill in nutrition gaps not covered in your daily diet, the reasons for taking vitamins and their many different forms are endless.

Giving back While having the means to obtain such essential nutrients is simple for most Americans, there are many people who aren’t as fortunate. In an effort to improve the everyday health of people everywhere, Walgreens is joining up with Vitamin Angels, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping at-risk populations gain access to lifesaving micronutrients.

Customers can make a difference and help children and mothers at risk by purchasing select health and wellness supplements at Walgreens. With each purchase, the company will offer 1 percent of its vitamins sales to help provide 100 million at-risk children and mothers in the US and abroad with essential vitamins and minerals.

“Walgreens’ mission is to help people get, stay and live well, and we are proud to support Vitamin Angels’ cause,” said Robert Tompkins, group vice president

and general merchandise manager. “Through this program, our customers can make a difference in so many lives by simply continuing to fulfill their health and wellness needs at Walgreens.”

For more information, visit www.vitaminangels. org and www.walgreens. com.

Trends in women’s nutrition From TV talk shows to the local nightly news programs, the public is never at a loss for nutritional information targeted toward women. Use this list of some of the popular vitamins and supplements that have recently made headlines to help you decide whether they fit into your health and wellness regimen.

Multivitamins While most of the nutrients contained within multivitamins can be found in food, taking one daily can fill in any missing gaps. A daily multivitamin can sat-

isfy all of your daily nutrition needs. When shopping for the right product, note that not all multivitamins are created equal. Some varieties offer a different amount of nutrients targeted to a specific age group or function, such as Centrum Silver Women 50+ Multivitamin tablets, which provide additional support for breast and bone health.

Omega-3 supplements Perhaps one of the most talked about nutrition products on the market, omega-3 fish oil supplements have been praised by various health professionals for their heart health benefits. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

One product, Nature’s Bounty Odorless Fish Oil 1000 mg Dietary Supplement Softgels, provides a special coating to minimize the unfavorable aftertaste often associated with such

pills.

Vitamin D While many people obtain vitamin D through exposure to natural sunlight, it can also be found in small increments in fatty fishes and in fortified dairy and cereal products. Supplements of both vitamin D3 (at 700-800 IU/day) have been shown to reduce the risk of bone loss and fractures in elderly people aged 62-85 years. For those looking for a convenient way to get the vitamin D needed for optimal health, try the Finest Nutrition Vitamin 5000 IU Dietary Supplement.

Calcium To keep bones healthy and strong throughout life, your body requires calcium.

This bone-strengthening nutrient reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis.

To increase your calcium intake, try the Nature Made Calcium 600 mg with Vitamin D Dietary Supplement Liquid Softgels, which provide additional vitamin D

to promote calcium absorption.

Folic acid A nutrient commonly taken by women who are pregnant or who wish to become pregnant, folic acid is known to reduce the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida in babies.

For those looking to improve their health and wellbeing, a general understanding of the many uses for vitamins and supplements may just be their own personal key to longevity.

Preventive Solutions for Women Invest in your future by taking advantage of health testing services at your local Walgreens pharmacy or Healthcare Clinic at select Walgreens. Some services offered include the following tests: * Cholesterol * Blood glucose * Blood pressure * Body composition Talk to your physician about your test results.

It’s never too late to get heart healthier If you think you can’t can turn your life around and become heart healthier because, “It’s just too late,” consider this: Navy surgeon Paul Spangler took up running at age 67 and completed his 14th marathon at age 92, and Katherine Pelton, at age 86, came in first in a 200-meter butterfly, winning her 358th top-10 title since age 71.

It’s never too late to get heart-healthier, even if you started your adult life as a fast-food-munching couch potato! A new study evaluated 5,000 folks over a 20year period and found that you actually can REVERSE deterioration of your cardiovascular system — if you change your behavior.

When the study started, only 10 percent of participants were sticking with all five of the most important heart-protecting behaviors: maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, using alcohol in moderation, getting regular physical activity and eating a nutritious diet.

Twenty years later, 25 percent of them had adopted at least one of those health-promoting behaviors and were measurably hearthealthier (the calcification and thickening of their artery walls decreased). With the addition of each healthful habit, their cardiovascular health improved.

Want to start today to improve your heart health?

Banish the Five Food Felons (added sugar and syrups, refined grains and heart-stopping saturated and trans fats); aim for walking 10,000 steps a day (10 minutes of aerobic activity is equivalent to 100 steps). Go to www.doctoroz.com for tips on quitting if you smoke; limit alcohol intake; and

Weekly healthy tips Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D.

aim for a healthy weight. A healthy heart is a weight off your shoulders.

PASSING THE SMELL TEST Justin Bieber and sometimes-girlfriend Selena Gomez each have their own perfume, as do over 40 other celebrities, including Bruce Willis (eau de angry?) and Lady Gaga (when you have nothing else to wear?). Add this perfumemania to the scents wafting off hand soaps, laundry and personal-care products, air fresheners and scented candles, and you end up being exposed to 100 (or more) potentially toxic or sensitizing aromatic chemicals every day. Many/most contain phthalates that, in lab tests, feminize even the most male toads! And these chemicals don’t disappear when a scent fades; they permeate your body and pollute the environment.

Sensitive folks wheeze, sneeze and get headaches from that toxic mix, and try to stay clear of it. But if you think artificial aromas smell lovely, be aware that fragrances can trigger allergies, asthma, hormone disruption, fertility problems, brain fog — even cancer.

So, here are some solutions, if ... ... you think you don’t smell good enough. Daily physical activity clears out toxins so that perspiration stops stinking. Showering and shaving underarms help keep sweat and bacteria from brewing up smells.

Eliminating red meat from

your diet can freshen body odor, and you’ll reduce your risk for heart disease and various cancers. None of that works? Talk to your doc. Persistent body odor may result from illness, medications, hormonal disruptions, low blood sugar, hyperthyroid or a zinc or magnesium deficiency. ... you think the world is stinky. Take a look at www. lesstoxicguide.ca to find safer-to-use products and recipes for “make your own” cleaning products.

FORTIFIED FOODS: IS YOUR CHILD GETTING TOO MANY VITAMINS? Mr. T, CP3-Os and Urkel Os were cereals once marketed to kids (in case they craved angry, extraterrestrial, nerdy foods). Today, celebrity tie-ins include U.S. World Cup team member Omar Gonzalez for Fruity Pebbles. Really?

At least you know what Gonzales seems oblivious to: No matter how much you get paid for endorsing sugar-soaked, artificially colored, refined-grain cereals, they’re still terrible for kids. But do you know that even seemingly healthful cereals can pose a risk to children if they’re fortified with adult-size portions of vitamins and minerals?

The Environmental Working Group looked at 1,556 cereals and found that some contain more vitamin A, niacin, and zinc than the Institute of Medicine says is safe for children. And many kids eat more than one serving of cereal daily, plus oth-

er fortified foods, and still others take a multivitamin.

The EWG also says among kids 2-8 years old who don’t take a multivitamin, 13 percent still exceed daily tolerable limits of vitamin A; 45 percent exceed recommendations for zinc; and 8 percent exceed that for niacin (from eating other fortified foods).

Among children who do take a multi, the numbers jump to an excess of 72 percent for A, up to 84 percent for zinc, and 28 percent for niacin! That can raise the risk of liver damage (from vitamin A), immune system dysfunction (from zinc), and rashes and vomiting (from niacin).

So buy cereals that include info on nutrient content levels for kids, or stick with ones that dish up 25 percent or less of an adult’s RDA of each nutrient.

DODGING HIDDEN SUGARS Back in 1969, when The Archies sang “Sugar, Sugar,” Americans consumed about 2,400 total calories a day; around 595 of those came from sugar. Today, most North Americans down an astounding 2,900 calories a day, and 680 of those are from sugar. Only a small bit of that sweetness comes from natural food sources like fresh fruit or veggies. On average, you’re swallowing 32 teaspoons of added sugars every day. No wonder obesity, diabetes, dementia and depression are on the rise.

There’s a lot of confusion about how much sugar you can consume safely: The American Heart Association says women’s daily sugar intake should be no more than six teaspoons, and men’s, no more than

nine. We say: Aim for NO ADDED SUGARS OR SYRUPS. You’ll get plenty of sweet stuff if you eat nine servings of fruits and veggies daily and stick with 100 percent whole grains. (Then you can have that good-foryou 1 ounce of 70 percent dark chocolate every day!)

But added sugars are hiding everywhere. Some culprits are: cereals with the words “Crunch,” “Clusters” or “Crisp” (even if they’re 100 percent whole grain); bottled salad dressings (particularly low-fat or fat-free); prepared pasta sauces; fruity yogurts; and many condiments. On ingredient labels, sugar masquerades as syrup, agave, evaporated cane juice, fructose, sorbitol and any word ending in “-ose” or “-ol.”

Fortunately, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is trying to make keeping track of your sugar intake easier with some proposed labeling changes: Let’s hope the food industry cares enough about your health to not kill those label upgrades!

TAKING DARK CHOCOLATE IN STRIDE “Chocolate Soldier” was the nickname of a 1930s track-devouring thoroughbred named Equipoise; Chocolate Candy was a flashy, high-stepping contender in the 2009 Belmont Stakes; and 85 Percent Dark Chocolate? Well, if you’re dealing with peripheral artery disease, bet on that long-striding contender, pronto. You might just hit a daily double: walking farther and faster than you previously thought possible!

PAD, a form of arterial aging, affects around 12 million North Americans, making it painful to walk,

upping the risk of blood clots, stroke and heart attack, and, for people with diabetes, increasing the risk of amputation. It develops when plaque clogs the arteries that convey blood from the heart to your legs (or arms, head or kidneys).

Without a good supply of oxygen, muscles struggle to work, you feel pain and numbness, and it becomes harder for the body to fight infection.

But researchers recently discovered that eating around 1.4 ounces of 85 percent cacao chocolate can quickly reduce pain and inflammation in your legs — perhaps by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow. After eating dark chocolate, study par ticipants walked 11 percent farther and 15 percent longer than they could earlier that day!

So dodge added sugars and sugar syrups in prepared and processed foods, and embrace the taste of dark chocolate. Now, even if PAD has made you sit out the race, you can ride to greater activity on dark chocolate. We recommend 1 ounce of 70 percent (or higher) cacao chocolate daily, and keep walking as far as you can, adding to your distance every day. *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

Todd Lorensen takes helm for SWCC men’s basketball

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

A familiar name in Iowa basketball circles occupies the office of head men’s basketball coach at Southwestern Community College.

Todd Lorensen, 29-yearold son of longtime Prairie City-Monroe boys basketball coach Fred Lorensen, has been announced as the new head coach for the SWCC Spartans. He succeeds Mike Holmes, who resigned to take over the men’s program at University of Maine at Cresque Isle.

While Holmes left SWCC to take over a Division III program, Lorensen is coming to the Spartans after one year as head coach at Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant.

“I’m extremely excited to join the SWCC and Creston communities,” Lorensen

said. “The ICCAC is one of the premier leagues across the country and I look forward to competing against top-level competition every year. I believe SWCC has a great future and I’m eager to get started.”

Iowa Wesleyan is in the midst of a transition from NAIA to provisional status as an NCAA Division III college.

“In that process they are eliminating athletic scholarships, and they will not be eligible for postseason play for two more years during that transition,” Lorensen explained.

The former Grand View Viking player is excited about taking the helm at Southwestern, where he will also serve as residence hall coordinator at Spartan Hall.

He said the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference ranks among the top junior college leagues in the

Lorensen nation.

“This was too good of an opportunity to pass up in terms of furthering my career and developing the outreach network you get in this league,” Lorensen said Thursday.

He is immediately recruiting to add to an existing roster of “about 10” of the possible returning players who have indicated they will stay in the program in 2014-15.

Lorensen has a master’s

degree in business administration from Bellevue University in Bellevue, Neb., and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Grand View University in Des Moines.

He was head coach at Iowa Wesleyan College one year after serving as assistant men’s basketball coach at Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo., for two years. Prior to that he was assistant coach at University of Nebraska-Omaha for three years.

“I am very excited about having coach Lorensen in our athletics department,” said Bill Krejci, SWCC athletic director. “He brings seven years of college coaching experience to our basketball program.”

After playing for his father at PCM, Lorensen played one year at Quincy University in Quincy, Ill., and three years at Grand

View, where he was team captain while scoring more than 1,000 points. He was named honorable mention and academic all-conference for three years.

Lorensen said he looks forward to making the transition from a four-year college to a two-year institution.

“Instead of having a kid you can groom and have influence on over a four-year span, in a two-year setting the top priority has to be to get that kid an AA degree,” Lorensen said. “Get them eligible for Division I or II, maybe a kid who was overlooked in high school or had an injury. They’re looking for that opportunity for exposure.”

Lorensen teaches a motion-based offense that creates options for players to utilize during game situations.

“You teach them how

to play and then give them some freedom,” Lorensen said. “You’ll see a little secondary break at times.

“Defensively, you’re going to see us play a very hard-nosed man-to-man defense, a little pack-style like you see from Tony Bennett at Virginia,” Lorensen said.

“Make them shoot contested jumpers.”

Lorensen is busy moving to his new residence and building his team, plus hiring an assistant coach.

“Working at a frantic pace right now,” he said. “I think we’ll get some pretty good payers visiting campus in the next week or so.”

Lorensen said past contacts in the Omaha and Kansas City areas will be utilized heavily in recruiting, as well as any players within a two-hour trip to campus who are worthy of helping the program.

Second-year offensive lineman Eric Kush signs autographs at the Kansas City Chiefs training camp this week at Missouri Western State University.

Life of a sportswriter: The marathon week Approximately 840 miles.

Give or take a few miles, that’s the amount of driving I did across the state of Iowa in a one week span from Monday, July 21 through this past Monday.

In that week, I covered five games at the State Softball Tournament in Fort Dodge, the Shrine Bowl in Cedar Falls and the Iowa Girls Coaches Association Senior All-Star Games in Waukee.

Along the way I picked up big assists from fellow CNA staff members Kyle Wilson and Jake Waddingham, who helped me out by laying out the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune’s sports section last week and also laying out last Friday’s CNA sports section.

It was a long, long week for all of us involved.

But, being able to cover Clarke’s Class 3A state championship in softball made it all worth it.

Part of the thrill in covering this Clarke softball team

Vick-tory lap Scott Vicker sports editor

was that it never failed to make things interesting.

Whether it was a walkoff winner in the regional final, a perfect game in the state tournament opener, a game lasting past midnight at the state tournament, or winning a state championship on a walkoff home run, there was always an interesting storyline.

I don’t know how head coach Lindsay Diehl does it, surviving all those different blood pressure-raising moments.

It’s those moments that Clarke had during its postseason run to the championship that will make this run unforgettable for me.

And for those out there thinking Clarke will be down next year, with this year’s graduating class leaving, better think again.

The Lady Indians are stocked full of young talent. And, perhaps more importantly, that young talent is eager to get better.

The same night the Clarke team returned to Osceola with its state championship trophy, freshman pitcher Alex Boyce sent Diehl a text message asking when open gym started, because she was ready to get to work for next year.

That’s the kind of commitment that the level of success Clarke has had the past several years can build.

••• We can’t forget about our area athletes who played in the Shrine Bowl, either.

What a way to go out for those seniors. All five area players — Trevor Frain, Keegan Longabaugh, Jacob Sobotka, Andrew Rider and Briar Vogel — had strong performances in the game.

Watching each of them play one final football game in their

respective high school team’s helmets made me realize how much I’m going to miss seeing them perform on Friday nights.

It’s going to be totally different not seeing Frain knock people silly with his hard-hit tackles.

It won’t quite be the same watching Mount Ayr football without seeing Sobotka steamroll over defenders trying to bring him down.

And Friday nights in Murray won’t be nearly as exciting without the human highlight reel in Rider.

The most disappointing aspect of Saturday’s Shrine Bowl was that Rider never got an opportunity to return a punt. That, alone, would have been worth the cost of admission.

••• And that brings me to the South Central Iowa Athlete of the Year Award.

We’ll be announcing one male and one female finalist each day next week. All senior athletes in

the CNA and Osceola SentinelTribune coverage areas are eligible for the award.

We received a lot of positive feedback from last year when we started the award.

Last year’s decisions were tough and I didn’t think this year’s decisions would be nearly as excruciating.

But boy, was I ever wrong.

The decisions are finally finalized, and I feel at peace with the decisions that were made.

Once all of the finalists have been announced, we’ll open up a fan poll, where you can voice your opinion on who should win the award. It will be interesting to see if the fans agree with the decisions we came to.

Winners of the award will be announced on Aug. 13.

Attempted murder warrant issued in Tuesday shooting

FIGHTING:

Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information about Earl Antonio Dunn’s whereabouts ■

(MCT) — Burlington police continued to search Wednesday for a 35-year-old Chicago man wanted for attempted murder in connection with a shooting early Tuesday that critically injured another Chicago man.

The wanted man, Earl Antonio Dunn, remained at large Wednesday, said Lt. Jeff Klein, commander of Burlington’s criminal investigation division.

Dunn is accused of shooting Kelon Bryan Tucker, 37, of Chicago at 1 a.m. Tuesday at the corner of 12th and Acres streets in south Burlington.

Klein said the warrant for Dunn’s arrest was issued about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday following an investigation by Burlington detectives.

Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information about Dunn’s whereabouts.

health officials. Most of the dead are civilians, many women and children among them.

The rapidly mounting death toll — together with the heavy battering of Gaza’s already crumbling infrastructure — spurred mediators led by the United States and the United Nations to finally push through a deal after nearly two weeks of fruitless efforts.

Both sides received some of the incentives they had demanded: Israel was pushing ahead with the destruction of Palestinian “attack tunnels” that form an elaborate catacomb beneath Gaza and its borders.

Hamas will be part of the Palestinian delegation that travels to talks in Cairo, which will also include the Palestinian Authority and the militant group Islamic Jihad.

While Hamas and Islamic Jihad swiftly announced their willingness to abide by the truce as long as Israel did, Netanyahu’s government waited until just a few hours before the ceasefire took effect to formally confirm it.

Netanyahu had asserted repeatedly prior to the truce announcement that Israel would not accept terms that precluded operations to destroy the tunnels.

ternoon at a home at 1421 Acres St., a rental property on the corner of 12th and Acres streets, in connection with the investigation.

Klein said when they executed the search warrant, they used a heavily armed tactical unit because they didn’t know if Dunn was hiding inside. He was not.

Klein did not say who lived at the home or why a search warrant was executed. He also didn’t say what, if anything, officers recovered from the home.

Klein said Tucker was shot in the lower torso by Dunn during an argument over a woman. Klein said officers became aware of the shooting after receiving calls of shots fired near 1421 Acres St. Authorities said Tucker underwent surgery Tuesday in Iowa City and is expected to recover from his wounds.

He was shot at least three times in the groin, buttocks and back, said a person familiar with the shooting.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Burlington Police Department at (319) 753-8362 or (319) 7538375.
